Abstract
Architect, scientist, and writer Christopher Alexander is one of the most remarkable thinkers and makers of our time. His many books include A Pattern Language 1977, The Timeless Way of Building 1979, and A Foreshadowing of Twenty-First Century Art: The Color and Geometry of Very Early Turkish Carpets 1993. This essay is his recent effort to distill the major discoveries in his masterful four-volume The Nature of Order 2002-2005, published by the Center for Environmental Structure in Berkeley, CA. He wishes to thank Maggie Alexander and Randy Schmidt for help in editing this essay.
